Her world's a stage

Vienna Farlow loves both sides of the stage.

The 17-year-old Southern Cayuga High School student has been acting since she was a small child and writing plays since she was in middle school. Though she has been acting longer, Farlow's preference lies with playwriting.

“I like having a lot of control over what I put into the show, I like writing plays more than writing a short story,” Farlow said. “You don't have to do all the filler and background information.”
